In 1995, I started teaching a form of combatives, called Protective Measures, to military and government employees who had to work in high threat environments. The core of the combatives program that I put together comes from Budo Taijutsu; specifically Taisabaki (natural body movements), ma-ii (distancing), timing and the strategy of henka (flexibility to adapt technique to new situations). Another part comes from the previous USMC close combat system (which was called the LINE system) and the current CC system (called MCMAP). Back in the late 80s, I was fortunate enough to be asked by then Commandant, GEN Al Gray, to assist creating the LINE program. The Marine Corps combat mindset and use of modern military weapons and tactics were added to my program. Finally, Officer Safety and Survival techniques and tactics for dealing with the civilian threat (criminal/terrorist) were added to the program. These were added from my experiences as a DOD Special Agent and training at the FLETC, ITI, BSR, InSight, HRP, and other government sponsored training. For this combatives program, I combined the best from the Bujinkan, USMC, law enforcement and government/civilian agencies. This program was extremely effective and popular within the government circles where I taught it. I trained a cadre of instructors and eventually outsourced the training. As of 2007, more than 3,000 people have been been through this program and we have received numerous testimonials from students that this training saved lives. In 1996, I asked Soke how I could certify instructors in this program so they could teach it in the future. He stated that what I was really teaching was the Shinken Gata of the Bujinkan, plus the Shinken Gata of military and law enforcement training. Soke honored me with a Menkyo Kaiden in Shinken Gata and authorized me to teach this art however I wished, but only to good people. To honor Soke and to recognize the Bujinkan as the core of what I teach, I call this Shinken Taijutsu. Today, you can train in Shinken Taijutsu as part of what is taught in the Bujinkan Taka-Seigi Dojo. Check out our website and this blog to learn more. Strength through Training,
